Mostar and Herzegovina 4 Cities (with Kravice Falls) – Full Day Tour from Sarajevo

Meet our team at the office or your preferred pickup location. Your guide will help you experience all cultural, historical, natural diversity of Herzegovina most beautiful cities and will make sure no questions remain unanswered, even of personal nature, so don’t refrain from sharing your thoughts and opinions at any moment of time.

The morning ride will take us through the interesting suburbs of Sarajevo and areas of central Bosnia until we pass Ivan Mountain and enter the Herzegovina region. As soon as we are in Herzegovina, we’ll start descending, as a region of Herzegovina is generally on lower altitudes and has a totally different climate, so you’ll notice dramatic natural environment change.

The day’s first stop is a short visit to the old part of Konjic town. Unique, prehistorically inhabited, famous for the 17th century 6-arch Old Bridge, looming over the turquoise Neretva River, usually a very sunny place, is the day’s perfect start. Standing on WW2’s last day, during the Nazi withdrawal and destroyed bridge, we learn the story of the “monument to human stupidity”, the mystery of Tito’s Bunker, the famousness of white water rafting at upper Neretva region and glacier Boracko Lake, and the few other stories before we continue our way.

The ride continues by passing the large, dammed but very beautiful Jablaničko lake, with a short stop at Jablanica where we will cross the river, walking just next to the remains of the old bridge and learn the WW2 story of the “Neretva Battle”. 

When in Jablanica, the story of the famous roasted lamb on the spit is an absolute must, so we will make sure to “sniff” into the way this greatest delicacy is prepared.

Views of Jablaničko Lake and Prenj mountain regions are breathtaking and will make you wanna stop and breathe those in.

Pass by:

• Jablaničko Lake and Neretva River Canyon (possible shortstop for amazing photos)

Some 40 km from Mostar and around 20 km from Pocitelj, Trebižat River plummets in a 28 m-high arc, creating a mesmerizing natural and 120-meter-wide water amphitheater known as Kravice Waterfall. These captivating waterfalls trapped in lush greenery are a perfect setting for everyone looking for an escape into intact nature.

For those of you who are into swimming and pedaling or simply enjoying one of the most photogenic Disney-like settings, which have its charm no matter the season of the year you are visiting, Kravica Waterfall is an absolute must additional stop.

Then we continue through some really amazing parts of the Neretva River canyon, telling the unique stories of Herzegovina before we arrive at our second stop – Počitelj.

Stunningly nested above the Neretva river, visit to Počitelj (“Počivati” – Bos.”to rest in peace”), easy uphill, one-hour-long walking activity, accompanied with stories of the town’s development and strategic importance during its 600+ year-long written history and visit to most important sites such as Hajji Alija Mosque, Clock Tower and Gavrankapetanovic tower, IS A MUST, for anyone passing through or near Herzegovina region.

Unique, medieval, Ottoman era glorified, present-day Ottoman-Mediterranean style designed fortress – town Počitelj is one of the very few urban ensembles in Bosnia and Herzegovina preserved in their integrity to the present times.

In the end of the walk we take some time for locally grown fresh lemonade or Bosnian coffee if you prefer 🙂

After Počitelj, our next stop is Blagaj.

Blagaj town is home to Buna River Spring – Europe’s most beautiful, powerful, clean, and drinkable karst river spring, settled beneath a rock a few hundred meters high. Water comes out of quite a large but stunningly deep cave, which springs an amazing 43 cubic meters of water per second. Can you imagine this?

Just next to the spring, under the rock, is home to Blagaj Tekke – Dervish house, dating most likely pre or early Ottoman era from the early 16th century, a unique sacral-residential example of Islamic architecture in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Visiting this complex and learning more about Dervish life in Herzegovina as an important part of our history is a MUST DO.

For Muslim travelers, “Tekija” is a place where prayers are hosted 5 times a day and can be attended if wanted.

As we finished our visit to “Blagajska Tekija” and “Izvor rijeke Bune,” we stayed there for a bit longer. It is time for lunch. Due to the famousness and cleanliness of Buna river, the most important thing to taste in Blagaj today is local trout. That is why we don’t leave the place before we offer our guests to try locally prepared trout on “Blagaj Way”, enjoying the amazing scenery of Buna River spring and Dervish House next to it. Vegetarians, don’t worry, we have solutions for you as well 🙂
Lunch is not included in the price, so plan an extra 10 to 12 EUR for the lunch.

Only 15 minutes further, it is time for the Mostar experience, which is the most important jewel on our “Herzegovina Necklace” day trip.

As soon as we arrive in Mostar, we start our walking tour, which will cover the most important sites and locations in Mostar.

We focus on Mostar’s Old Bridge, Old Bazaar, and Old Town but offer stories of Mostar’s uniqueness in regard to historical and cultural diversity.

The story of Mostar will be about the Bridge, its rise and fall, and how it rose again. You will learn about the Siege of Mostar, about why it is called Mostar, and about “Mostarians.” We recreate Mostar for you and with you.

In Mostar, if preferred, we give our guests free time to explore on their own as we simply do not like to “hold a candle all the way”.

Sunsets are an amazing time in Mostar, so we’ll have a drink at a place overlooking the bridge panorama and discuss more about everything we did today.

When Mostar is done, it is time to return to Sarajevo, and it will take us around two hours before we are “home”.

The reason why, during this day tour, we prefer to arrive at Mostar around 3 or 4 pm and then explore Mostar is because in the afternoon, most of the day tours and big groups passing through Mostar are already gone, so we get to have Mostar for ourselves for the maximized experience.

On the way back, we can make another break for those desiring to try the famous roasted lamb at Jablanica. We expect to be in Sarajevo around 7 pm, so better don’t plan too many things that evening as days can be quite long some time.

Guests who possibly do not prefer to go back to Sarajevo, can stay in Mostar, and use this tour as transfer tour between Sarajevo and Mostar.
